Wysowa-Zdroj (until 2003 Wysowa , lemkisch Висова, Ukrainian Висова-Здруй) is a village and a resort town with a mayor's office of the municipality Uście Gorlickie in gorlice county of Malopolska province in Poland .
geography
The place is located on the Ropa River in the Lower Beskids in the so-called Lemkenland . The neighboring towns are Ropki in the north-west, Hańczowa in the north, Regietów in the east, Blechnarka in the south-east, and Cigeľka in Slovakia in the south-west.
history
The place is on an old trade route along the Ropa through the Wysowska Pass to Hungary , where a sword from the Bronze Age and Roman coins from the 3rd and 4th centuries BC were found. In 1359 Jan Gładysz was granted the privilege to colonize the Upper Ropa. At that time only the village of Łosie existed there , but the Gładysz family from Szymbark founded 19 villages thanks to the privilege, mostly in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. Wysowa was first mentioned in a document in 1437. The origin of the possessive name is unclear, it was probably derived from a male personal name.
The village in the Biecz district of the Kraków Voivodeship belonged to the Tarło family from the early 18th century after the noble Gładysz family. In the summer of 1770 a battle of the Bar Confederation took place near Wysowa , where the Russians defeated the Polish Confederates.
During the first partition of Poland , Wysowa-Zdrój became part of the new Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria of the Habsburg Empire in 1772 (from 1804). In 1808 the residents bought all of the farmland from the village owner. In 1812 it started operating as a health resort. In 1890 it was visited by 2,000 spa guests. In the spring of 1915 the village was largely destroyed by troops.
In 1918, after the end of the First World War and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, Wysowa-Zdrój became part of Poland. In 1921 there were 706 Greek Catholics, 59 Roman Catholics and 49 Jews in the village. The Huta Wysowska settlement , now a hamlet of Wysowa-Zdrój, was a Polish-speaking island with its own Roman Catholic church. In 1931 the United families changed their denomination to Orthodox as a result of the Galician Russophile movement . The enlightened Ukrainian teachers in the elementary school were boycotted and the council meetings were obstructed by Ukrainian national activists until the municipal council was dissolved. The disputes over the ownership of the church buildings lasted until the early 21st century.

During the Second World War , the place belonged to the Krakow district in the Generalgouvernement . The local Jews and Roma were deported in 1943 and murdered in the course of the Holocaust . In 1945 70 of the Lemk families emigrated to the Soviet Union apparently voluntarily, but not without excesses . In 1947 the rest of the Lemken were expelled as part of Aktion Weichsel , only a few families returned after 1956. Today only 5 Lemk families live there.
From 1975 to 1998 Wysowa-Zdrój belonged to the Nowy Sącz Voivodeship .
